History ExtremeOmnivore / VideoGames

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'' has the Devour ability, which characters can access by junctioning the Guardian Force Eden (or another [=GF=] that was taught the ability via a Hungry Cookpot). If the target's hp is low enough, the character will rush the enemy... and the scene will change to a [[RelaxOVision peaceful, pastoral landscape]] while horrible chomping noises are heard in the background. Doing this to the right enemies can reward the Devouring character with permanent increases to their stats.

* ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyVIII'''s Guardian Force, Eden, allows the Junctioned character to equip the "Devour" ability. If used successfully, the character will rush the enemy... and the scene will change to a [[RelaxOVision peaceful, pastoral landscape]] while horrible chomping noises are heard in the background.

* Quina Quen, the Qu that joins the party in ''VideoGame/FinalFantasyIX'', has the "Cook" [[LimitBreak Trance Skill]] which allows it to eat any sufficiently-weakened enemy in order to [[MegaManning learn its special skills.]]
** And "Cook" is just an upgraded version of "Eat" [[AmbiguousGender her(?)]] normal skill that does the same thing.

*** In ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosForTheNintendo3DSAndWiiU'', Wario's been upgraded, as he can now eat virtually any projectile on top of regaining health and building gas for the Wario Waft when eating items (The numerous pieces of a destroyed Wario Bike being prime targets). Kirby only possesses the healing property and Dedede the projectile-eating property, making Wario the superior one out of the game's omnivores, strangely enough.

* In ''VideoGame/PuyoPuyo'' and its predecessor ''Madou Monogatari'', Carbuncle's appetite goes way beyond [[TrademarkFavoriteFood curry]] and other foodstuffs. In the "Schezo's Long Day" anime short, he took sword swallowing to a hilariously literal degree, having eaten Schezo's sword long before the animation takes place. In the end credits sequence for ''Madou Monogatari: The Final Test'', he even devours [[spoiler:an entire grocery store]]!

* In ''VideoGame/{{Persona 4}}'', the main character Yu Narukami can check the refrigerator on certain days and eat things that he finds within to increase his courage. These include such delicacies as expired milk, white miso (which used to be red), and his cousin's science experiment, which is a pot of grass. This has become [[MemeticMutation a bit of a joke in the Persona 4 fandom]].

* In ''Videogame/Destiny2'' during the post-apocalypse Dark Ages, the Drifter repeatedly starved to death, and was subsequently resurrected by his Ghost, a robotic SoulJar. This has resulted in him being not at all picky as to what or ''whom'' he eats when it comes to aliens - he drinks the toxic biological "milk" that powers time-traveling Vex robots, and mentions that the chitinous Hive are good eating. The only thing he hesitates on are the zombie-like alien Scorn, but promises that one day he'll summon the courage to eat one.

* {{Creator/Nintendo}} really likes this trope. Never before has borderline cannibalism been raised to such an art form of self-defense.

*** In a reference to VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3, Snake, in his Codec Taunt in ''VideoGame/SuperSmashBrosBrawl'' turns the tables on Yoshi and wonders what it'd taste like.
*** In Smash Bros for the 3DS/Wii U, Wario's been upgraded, as he can now eat virtually any projectile on top of regaining health and building gas for the Wario Waft when eating items (The numerous pieces of a destroyed Wario Bike being prime targets).

* Yuyuko Saigyouji of the ''VideoGame/{{Touhou}}'' series, according to fanon and MemeticMutation, will eat anything. And any''one''. Poor Mystia...
** Mystia is canon, actually. "[[CrossesTheLineTwice Hold on, Youmu, there's a bone in my throat]]." But [[UnexplainedRecovery somehow she returns]] for ''Phantasmagoria of Flower View''.

* Kingseeker Frampt in ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' serves as your VendorTrash disposal by eating the equipment and giving you souls in return. He particularly enjoys Dung Pies, which he "buys" at retail price from you, making it an effective way to store some extra souls. He can also break Titanite into smaller pieces for you by chewing it up.

* Pink Slimes in ''Videogame/{{Slime Rancher}}''

* ''Videogame/Wizard101'': Gobbers are technically both types, as evidenced by the fact that they stockpile normal food in addition to eating buildings. WordOfGod [[JustifiedTrope justifies]] this, their home world is a LevelAte, and they're not smart enough to realize that Wizard City isn't.

* ''VideoGame/SpaceQuest VI'' has a WombLevel inside the body of Roger's latest crush, Stellar. Many of the items needed to solve the puzzles are random inedible items that she has swallowed, and there are others lying around that are just decoration and aren't part of any puzzles. At least the tooth filling and fingernail may have been swallowed accidentally but things like a feather, a staple, a paper clip, a screw, and a coin were definitely swallowed deliberately. This is lampshaded by the narrator, and also by Roger himself later when he lectures Stellar about her eating habits.

-->'''Kog'maw's Background:''' ''The enchanting colors and aromas of Runeterra intoxicated Kog'Maw, and he explored the fruits of the strange world the only way he knew how: by devouring them. At first he sampled only the wild flora and fauna he happened across. As he traversed the parched Tempest Flats, however, he came upon a tribe of nomads. Seemingly unhampered by conventional rules of physics, Kog'Maw consumed every nomad and any obstacles they put in his way, amounting to many times his own mass and volume.''

-->'''Grunt:''' [[WhatDidIDoLastNight I don't remember much after I ate the lamp.]]

* [[{{Creator/Nintendo}} Nintendo]] really likes this trope. Never before has borderline cannibalism been raised to such an art form of self defense.

*** Yoshi, first appearing in ''VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld'', can eat almost anything that moves with his long sticky tongue. Adding to the fun, in later games, things he eat get crapped out as ''eggs'' (apparently empty ones). Yoshi's stomach has gradually grown less sensitive in each game he has starred in. In ''VideoGame/YoshisStory'', the newborn Yoshis (except for the hidden black and white ones) would prefer specific foods over others, even take damage from eating things they didn't like, like black Shy Guys or hot peppers. In ''VideoGame/YoshisIsland'', his tongue would bounce off of spiny, large, or tough enemies. In ''Super Mario World'', he could eat pretty much anything.
*** In the [[WesternAnimation/SuperMarioWorld Super Mario World cartoon]], Yoshi eats a variety of things. Among his meals are blocks, fireballs, wood, stone, a Chargin' Chuck (which he can't eat in [[VideoGame/SuperMarioWorld the actual game]]), many Piranha Plants, an entire harvest of cave crops, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sTs66G1z2b4 King Koopa, Hip and Hop]]. He even ate Mario once.

---->'''[[spoiler: Baby]] Yoshi:''' (After spitting Mario out) Ueagh, Yoshi no like meatballs!

-->'''Scooter:''' Careful though, Earl's crazy -- he ate one of my cars once. Yeahhhh. The whole car. Just... like, with a fork.

---->'''[[spoiler: Baby]] Yoshi:'''(After spitting Mario out) Ueagh, Yoshi no like meatballs!

* Dog in the ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' add-on, ''Dead Money''. He accidentally ate the explosive collar his master, Elijah, gave him in order to keep him loyal. He will also eat the remains of Ghost People you kill, a useful way to make sure they stay dead.
** The player can eat, with the right perks, giant insects, mammals, people, boiled toxic cloud, most plant life, super mutants, 200 year old {{Indestructible Edible}}s, Ghouls (radioactive zombies), glowing mushrooms, and mutant animal guts.

*** Franchise/{{Kirby}} has been eating his enemies more than Yoshi has.

* Online game example: Skeiths and Grarrls, two types of virtual pets in ''{{Website/Neopets}}'', can eat any inventory item, not just those designated as food.

* ''VideoGame/LeagueOfLegends'' Has Cho'gath, whose level 6 ability allows him to basically eat(or attempt to eat) anything with a health bar[[note]]such as humans, Yordles, [[TelescopingRobot robots]], [[EskimoLand humans]] [[ABoyAndHisX riding]] [[BigfootSasquatchAndYeti yetis]], [[MiniMecha Yordles riding robots]], [[RobotGirl formerly human robots]], [[ElementalEmbodiment elementals]], [[LivingShadow shadows]], [[ALoadOfBull minotaurs]], [[OurLichesAreDifferent liches]], giant armadillos, anthropomorphic dogs, anthropomorphic crocodiles, [[OurWerewolvesAreDifferent werewolves]], [[OurVampiresAreDifferent Vampires]], [[VampireHunter vampire hunters]], [[RuleOfThree Yordle]] [[{{Mummy}} mummies]], [[OurGhostsAreDifferent wraiths]], [[GorgeousGorgon gorgons]], [[{{Ninja}} human ninjas]], [[RunningGag Yordle ninjas]], [[AnIcePerson icy]] [[ThePhoenix phoenixes]], [[OurAngelsAreDifferent angels]], [[FallenAngel other angels]], other [[EldritchAbomination Eldritch Abominations]], [[ScaryScarecrows scarecrows]], [[WolfTropes wolves]], [[OurDemonsAreDifferent scary demons]], [[{{Golem}} golems]], [[HumanoidAbomination scary humanoid demons]], [[WhenTreesAttack mobile trees]], [[OurTrollsAreDifferent trolls]], [[OurGargoylesRock gargoyles]], [[OurZombiesAreDifferent zombies]], [[RunningGag Yordle]] [[GadgeteerGenius inventors]], ''[[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial totally]]'' [[AvertedTrope non-]][[OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame dwarves]], [[SiliconBasedLife crystalline]] [[ScaryScorpions scorpions]], [[OurDragonsAreDifferent dragons]], [[ThePowerOfRock METAL suits of armor]], [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Purple Skinned Star Babes]], [[VoluntaryShapeshifting human-raven-things]], [[RunningGag Yordles]], giant lizards, [[YouDirtyRat anthropomorphic rats]], [[StockNessMonster sea monsters]], [[FrankensteinsMonster zombie cyborg]] [[GiantEnemyCrab crab things]], [[Literature/JourneyToTheWest anthropomorphic monkeys]], [[RunningGag Yordles]], [[MirrorMatch himself]], [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and]] [[OverusedRunningGag Yordles]][[/note]], growing in size and gaining bonus HP if he is successful. His passive, "Carnivore", has him restore health and mana whenever he scores a killing blow on something, implying he eats at least a part of everything he kills.

* ''KnightsOfTheOldRepublic'' has the cannok, kill them to retrieve the stuff they ate. Their flexible eyestalks are good sushi too, so the main character counts also.

*** In ''VideoGame/PaperMarioTheThousandYearDoor'', the three dragons, while intending to eat anyone they see, also eat the treasure you get for defeating them. Before Mario fights each of them, Hooktail ate the Diamond Star (which Koopley found inside her), Gloomtail ate a treasure chest containing the Star Key (coughed it up after he was defeated), and Bonetail ate a chest containing a badge (also coughed it up once defeated) and he's not [[DracoLich even alive]].

* Dog in the ''VideoGame/FalloutNewVegas'' add-on, ''Dead Money''. He accidently ate the explosive collar his master, Elijah, gave him in order to keep him loyal. He will also eat the remains of Ghost People you kill, a useful way to make sure they stay dead.
** The player can eat, with the right perks, giant insects, mammals,people, boiled toxic cloud, most plant life,super mutants, 200 year old [[IndestructibleEdible Indestructible Edibles]],Ghouls (radioactive zombies), glowing mushrooms and mutant animal guts.

* Kingseeker Frampt in ''VideoGame/DarkSouls'' serves as your VendorTrash disposal by eating the equipment and giving you souls in return. He can also break down Titanite material.

** Gunzerker player character Salvador has commented on the tastes of paint thinner and machine grease.

* PacMan. He eats all sorts of fruit yes, but he eats floating dots (and the occasional ''big'' floating dot). And blue ghosts. How would you like to eat a ghost? That can't be healthy. Then there's the keys and spaceships.

* Due to a GoodBadBug[=/=]developer oversight in ''VideoGame/StardewValley'', [[PerkyGoth Abigail]] will react to any "liked" gift you give her with something along the lines of "Hey, how'd you know I was hungry? This looks delicious!" and this list of gifts include flowers and ''precious gemstones''. As of Patch 1.06 - which added a buttload of new spouse dialogue among other things, [[http://i.imgur.com/Nrctfhg.jpg this seems]] to have become something of an AscendedMeme.

* ''[[VideoGame/AmnesiaOtome Amnesia: Later]]'': Ukyo gets a pasta dish, loaded with extra spicy habanero sauce he knows nothing about, adds tabasco on top and eats it. The guys that put the habanero sauce on there as a prank are amazed that Ukyo ate it without flinching or even commenting on the taste.
